Orange Whip, an unofficial Jamba Juice Secret Menu smoothie recipe, is a nostalgic throwback to carefree summer days, inspired by the classic Orange Julius everyone grew up loving. Bursting with bright citrus flavor from orange juice and orange sherbet, it’s perfectly balanced by a creamy frozen yogurt base that gives it that signature whipped texture. Light, refreshing, and energizing, this smoothie is ideal for breakfast, an afternoon cooldown, or a sweet treat with the kids.
I first recreated this smoothie on a sweltering July afternoon, chasing that same creamy-orange magic I remembered from childhood fairs. The secret is using just enough sherbet to keep it bright without overpowering the yogurt’s velvety smoothness. Sometimes I’ll toss in a little fresh orange zest or a splash of vanilla for extra depth, taking the whole experience from nostalgic to downright crave-worthy.
Everything You Need To Make An Orange Whip Smoothie
Key Ingredients
The Jamba Juice Secret Menu Orange Whip smoothie ingredients are:
- orange juice
- nonfat frozen yogurt
- orange sherbet
- Collagen Boost, optional
Health Benefits
Oranges – Oranges are the most popular of all citrus fruits. They are absolutely packed with vitamin C and provide significant amounts of the flavonoids hesperidin and naringenin as well as carotenoids beta-cryptoxanthin and lycopene. Oranges promote healthy immune function, boost heart health, and have been shown to prevent anemia.
Nonfat Frozen Yogurt – Nonfat frozen yogurt is often hailed as a healthy alternative to traditional ice cream. It includes yogurt culture probiotics lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus and is often made with agave nectar instead of high-calorie sugar. Nonfat frozen yogurt is a common choice among those wanting to reduce their caloric intake.

Smoothie Making Tools Needed
A standard blender is all that is required to make these delicious smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using the truly amazing personal NutriBullet Ultra as it is super-quick to set up and very easy to clean.
If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Vitamix blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.
For overnight storage, we recommend using glass or BPA-free airtight storage containers with a resealable lid.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions
Is nonfat frozen yogurt high in sugar?
Yes, nonfat frozen yogurt can be surprisingly high in sugar to compensate for the lack of fat, which enhances flavor. A typical serving can contain anywhere from 15 to 40 grams of sugar.
Is there milk in sherbet?
Sherbet does contain a small amount of milk or milk derivatives, which differentiates it from sorbet, a dairy-free alternative. The milk content in sherbet is usually around 1-2%, giving it a creamier texture than sorbet but less creamy than traditional ice cream.
